Testimonials

“Kate is a person of significant integrity. She is highly intelligent, reflective and trustworthy - a person with a well-developed moral compass. Kate has supported me over many years of my service as a Headteacher and I would fully recommend her as a mentor and coach of the highest calibre.”

— Paul, Headteacher

“I had Kate as my leadership coach for 4 years as Headteacher. I appreciated her background as a Catholic leader since this enabled us to consider events and priorities in the light of our values. She is an excellent listener, and is able to ask the most important questions. Her supportive approach was invaluable through a few difficult patches, including through the COVID pandemic”

— David, Headteacher, Senior Catholic Sixth Form College

“I would recommend Kate as a coach whether as a short-term intervention or more on a long-term basis. I trained with Kate in executive coaching. She was distinctive in the group in wishing to bring a contemplative dimension into her leadership coaching, something unheard of 15 years ago. She also brought the gift of being able to coach in a diverse number of contexts as well as sharing her extensive experience of hands-on leadership.  Kate is both supportive and challenging, she is naturally compassionate, and I would highly recommend her to any individual or community seeking to progress in their chosen field of development.”

— Zanna, Senior Executive, Global Consultancy and Coaching Group

“We are extremely pleased with the outcomes we have achieved from working with Kate as a family over the last two years. Our daughter had missed schooling due to a medical condition; she is also neurodiverse and so wanted to explore a variety of sixth form options. Her school offered little support regarding sixth form courses for students who were not progressing to A levels.  Kate, through her coaching and mentoring, has ensured our daughter chose a course that matched her interests and academic aptitude. So she has started at a very good FE college on an excellent vocational course. Kate’s safe coaching space has contributed to building our daughter’s self-awareness and her confidence to ensure she can continue to progress successfully in her education.”

— Emma, Sophie’s Parent

“Kate coached a team of our community collaborating with our lay partners that involved updating and implementing a key policy. Her excellent facilitation skills helped us to focus on the why which proved invaluable for the successful outcome of the project at a time of change and transition. In doing this she demonstrated an understanding of the needs and challenges of serving in the Catholic Chruch today.”
